Connect ps/2 to EXP8661
Hi,
I want to experiment with an old computer but the manual of the motherboard isn't so good. It's an EXP8661 motherbord, you can see the layout at: http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherbo...m-EXP8661.html. So the MS1 is the ps/2 mouse connector were I have the put in my counter. The connector on the motherboard has 4 pins and the counter has 5 holes and one of them hasn't got a wire. So it's like no wire, yellow one, blue one, red one, green one. Can anyone help me connecting it? BTW: can I do something wrong by connecting it wrong? |

Here's an example that has a parallel port *and* a PS/2 port: http://www.pccables.com/cgi-bin/orde...omsearc&rcode= With a bit more of a search, you can probably find one that just has a mouse port. |

Can anyone help me connecting it? BTW: can I do something wrong by connecting it wrong? I don't recall, if I ever knew, what the typical color coding for a PS2 port dongle was. You have vcc (power), ground, data, and clock lines. With a multimeter you can determine which pin is power by 5V when the system is on (meter ground being system ground anywhere). With the meter the ground pin will have practically zero resistance to case ground. With data and clock, if you get them reversed it won't work, just switch the two around and try again. Similar for the dongle itself, by looking at a pinout for a PS2 port, you can use the meter to check continuity to confirm which pins in the socket each connector pin corresponds to. |

Found a manual here. MS1 is "DATA,DATA,GND,VCC" :-) Don't know what happened to the CLOCK signal. http://www.motherboards.org/files/ma...24/EXP8661.pdf Paul |

The hole with no wire is for nothing, but I cannot advise on whether to leave the other wires in the positions they are in, or swap them. You need to determine which wires correspond to which PS2 port pins on the dongle, and which motherboard pins are vcc and ground. Without a diagram/manual to tell you, using a multimeter is important. If you connect it wrong it might damage a keyboard connected to it. |

OK, the manufacturer says it is data, data, ground, vcc. It is either clock, data, ground, vcc or it is data, clock, ground, vcc According to this page, the data and clock are open collector, so you should be able to try either wiring pattern and see if it works. They also include a couple diagrams for DIN connector wiring. http://eyetap.org/ece385/lab4.htm Paul |
